(Local news warning: just details of a talk I’m giving<\/i>)<\/p>\n

Psychology in the Pub<\/a> is a Sheffield event which happens in the Showroom Cinema Bar. I’m giving a talk there on the 15th of March and I’ve just written the blurb. Here it is for your enjoyment<\/p>\n

\nThinking Meat: Understanding brain and mind<\/p>\n

You’re brain weighs the same as half a brick and has the consistency of warm butter. Yet such a mundane object allows you to have every thought you’ve ever had, every feeling, dream or hope. This talk will be an introduction to what I view as the central puzzle of psychology: how the brain creates the mind. I’ll discuss fundamental insights from the study of perception and action and suggest how these provide important clues for understanding all of human psychology. The talk will feature: Lego Robots! ‘Subliminal messages’! Britney Spears! Pirates! And a no-holds-bared personal revelation from the speaker\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The content will be similar to the talk I gave in Manchester recently, which you can hear here<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
